Ultrasound of Soft Tissue Masses: Part II

Abstract

In part I of this two-part series, we discussed the utility of ultrasound (US) for evaluation of soft tissue masses. Optimal scanning techniques were addressed. Multiple benign masses were highlighted in the first article, with particular attention to the features that were characteristic for a specific begin diagnosis. This article addresses more benign masses. Additionally, features of malignant soft tissue masses are reviewed and these findings reinforced with a discussion of several malignant diagnoses.
